Roma boss Jose Mourinho
Jose Mourinho is chasing a Champions League spot with Roma

After securing a winner in Portugal, Kev's treating us to a trip to Serie A.


Cremonese v Roma

Sporting did the business for us last night, as not only did they see off Estoril 2-0, but they also smashed the corner line for us as well. We'll switch our attention to Italy now, because rock-bottom Cremonese are up against Roma, and I fancy the visitors to boost their Champions League-qualification push with a win.

Cremonese haven't won a single league game this season, despite having had 23 attempts. They have drawn nine and lost 14 of those matches, and they have lost eight of their 11 home games. They have leaked 42 goals, which gives them one of the worst defensive records in the division, and their goal tally of 17 is the second-weakest in the league.

However, despite all of these horrific numbers, Cremonese have had a remarkable run in the Coppa Italia. They beat Serie A's runaway leaders Napoli on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the Stadio Diego Maradona, and they beat Roma 2-1 in the capital. I suspect those results have played into Roma's price of 1.774/5 to win this game, but I believe Jose Mourinho's side will still come out on top.

Roma turned around their Europa League tie in midweek as they beat Salzburg 2-0 in Rome to win 2-1 on aggregate. In the league they have won five of their last eight outings, and their only defeat in the last Serie A away games was at table-toppers Napoli.

I'll back Roma to win the match and the Corner Match Bet here at 2.727/4 on the Sportsbook's Bet Builder Roma give away an average of just 3.7 corners per game in Serie A this season, and I expect them to dominate here.
